The Dairy Queen located at 1620 Austin Avenue in Brownwood has begun an extensive renovation project.

Today, workers were pulling down the awnings and sign as a first step in the process.

Diary Queen manager Louise Wood said that they will be doing a complete renovation of the restaurant on the inside and outside.

Wood said that the the project will take approximately 60-90 days to complete if all goes according to plan.

Wood declared, “We are open” despite the outward appearance.   The renovation plan will try to keep the interference during the business day to a minimum and much of the early stages will take place early in the morning before business hours.

Wood said that there will be a point in which the store will have to close for a very short time, but they will be keeping the closing time to a bare minimum.

They are unsure at this point when they will have to close as the project progresses, but they will give customers plenty of notice.
